So this is a bit of a call for help with a correct original soft top in Green. I’m not sure of how many of us know what color the liner is supposed to be on the underside/ inside of our soft top but all the details matter for crazy people like me! So the answer for green is a cream beige NOT BLACK. Unfortunately I’m told after extensive research that green top material in no longer available with the Beige underside.
1. does anyone know where I can find one; I would pay beyond top dollar for it or someone who has original material or an NOS green top…
2. Is any one else looking for one as I have spoken to several of the canvas top manufacturers and I have been told that green/beige material has not been made since the 70’s and because all the English cars that use Green soft tops (much more than German cars) need Green/black. If I want to have a run made they want a commitment to 800sq meters that’s a lot of tops…..
If anyone has a better idea or knows someone willing to sell I’m your guy…..
Thank you
Eric

Which upholstery suppliers have you contacted already?
Also this should be in the upholstery section.

Try Cabrio.de they will have the green but not sure about the pale interior as origional.
However you coukd ask it you can get one from them as a special order. They are very helpful.

I did my tip a few years ago wanted to do a dark red wine color too and also wanted to have a tan headliner. At that time there was no one that had the dark red top with tan headliner, only black headliner. Found the Hursh located in New York did tops for high end Rolls Royce. They found me top material in Germany. You might try them to source out you top material. And yes I did pay a lot higher price for that material.

We have a separate upholstery section?
